The Librarian

Thanks, lol

Just now, when I tried to move a post to another topic I was not able to because the button does not highlight. The one I am talking about is "Jehovah's Witnesses Topics"

You’ll need to be patient with that link once selected. 

I am glad I was not the only one confused by the meaning of that  

Thanks @Queen Esther

A TV - report  said,  they  had  to  pick  an  immense  mass  of  blossoms,  to  get  the  little  less,  red  twists,  which  we  can  buy.  Some  twists  for  some  Euro's....  thats  the  reason !  Few  mg.  for  some  Euro's,  thats  expensive,  yes.  But  for  a  special  rice  meal,  we  need  safran   an  especially  taste !

Thats  2 grams,  ca. 8000 €  I  read.....  Each  blossom  has  only  3  twists !  That  cost  alot  time  for  picking >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  But  the  twists  are  the  real  SAFFRON !

Delicate saffron threads, plucked from crocus flowers and dried  -  Also  as  medicine  for :

SAFFRON: An Anti-Depressant Herb  --  Good  info's ? 

Si es  Azafrán solamente lo he consumido en polvo en algunas comidas, no sabía que es caro 

It's hard to grin all puckered up!

Gnite  my  dear  Brothers....   The  German  clocktime  is  always  against  me   See  us  tmw.

good night @Queen Esther

Sooo true!

I read about a trial of using convalescent plasma therapy, is it working? The article I read didn't show results yet

혈장 치료로 2명 완치...정부, 곧 치료지침 발표 It has emerged that two elderly coronavirus patients in South Korea made a full recovery after receiving blood plasma treatment. Health authorities say plasma treatment guidelines will be announced within days. Kim Hyo-sun reports. South Korean researchers have proved the effectiveness of blood plasma treatment on coronavirus patients. Doctors at Yonsei Severance Hospital in Seoul administered plasma therapy on two elderly coronavirus patients,... a 67-year-old woman and a 71-year-old man. They were treated with plasma from people who had recovered and have developed antibodies to the virus,... enabling their bodies to protect themselves from the virus' attacks. One of the patients was discharged after making a full recovery,... while the other is set to be sent home soon. "The patients continued to suffer from acute respiratory distress syndrome even after antiviral treatment. Then we decided to go with plasma treatment in combination with steroids." Plasma is a yellowish blood fluid you get from centrifuging blood. It carries various nutrients including protein as well as antibodies. Antibodies,... which are Y-shaped proteins produced by the immune system,... stop intruders from harming the body. These invaders, called antigens,... can be viruses, bacteria, or other chemicals. Antibodies also enable macrophages to engulf viruses and bacteria. The South Korean government says it will soon provide detailed guidelines for the treatment,... which was also used to treat patients during the MERS outbreak. "The guidelines for plasma treatment are nearly done, and we will swiftly commence research on other means of treatment." For now, it's crucial to secure enough plasma from people who have fully recovered from COVID-19. The government also needs to prepare for possible side-effects as no large-scale clinical trials have been conducted yet. Kim Hyo-sun, Arirang News.

Last week, the FDA tapped the Mayo Clinic to lead and coordinate the effort and evaluate the treatment’s effectiveness.

Since then, hospital systems around the nation have registered through the Mayo Clinic to start treating patients with convalescent plasma. Texas hospitals that plan to try the treatment include Methodist Hospital Stone Oak in San Antonio, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

Five patients at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center in Houston — part of the Baylor College of Medicine — have been treated with convalescent plasma, said Dr. Ashok Balasubramanyam, vice president of academic integration and associate dean of academic affairs at the Baylor College of Medicine. The school has also been authorized to conduct a clinical trial, expected to start within a couple of weeks.

On Thursday, a patient in Austin received a convalescent plasma infusion, the first in the city, said Dr. Jeff Yorio, a hematologist and oncologist at Texas Oncology who helped get the program started in Austin.

Didn't know that, thanks!

No, its Renoir, one of my favorite artists.

Funny... that was going to be my first guess.... and I retyped Rembrandt...  LOL

I'm in America.  What a Nice Regional Convention!  Remember the Wife of Lot.....

Welcome! and enjoy the World Forum.

Thank you for your kindness.

Thanks.

The "best answer" feature works in forums where 10+ different people answer a question that requires some expertise, and the one with the most expertise can bubble up. I think that questions here are often intended to start a dialogue, and the best ones go one for several pages. No one is really looking for the single most "expert" sounding answer, they are usually looking to see how the idea was responded to by some and whether the answers, in total, produced a reasonable discussion. Taking any one answer out of the sequence makes it difficult to follow the conversation or dialogue.

There are a few exceptions, but these tend to be questions with fewer answers anyway, and therefore the best answer is already somewhere on the same page as the question.

So I don't know exactly what to suggest, except maybe to default to "Sort by date" and then have a message that might say: "Sort by votes to find best answers." Even that option might only be available when there have been some votes.

But that's the complicated way to do it. For 95% of the topics, just defaulting to "sort by date" would be sufficient. In the topics I've read it is almost never used. I'm almost afraid that when people start using it more often it can be abused, too. I think it would usually be used as a way to highlight most interesting, most intriguing, most important, or "most agreeable to voter's way of thinking." Most of the posts that people would vote on are, in my experience, not even intended to answer the original question, but just to share some additional information.

Insightful. Thank you both! @The Librarian and @JW Insider

I changed it to a "normal" forum .... let me know if it works better for you or not.

I must see how this "map" works first. 

ok

greetings

ok -

I need the sub/ "bible highlights/spiritual gems" for the english/american WEEKLY materials .... 

to add some notes for everyone.

if I need for any other language I will inform you 

(perhaps I will add more later)

thank you for your pages

no problem ... I can add them every week under each post ... thanks

Ok!

Where are you from Anna? I assume England for some reason.  Maybe you could add yourself to a country on our Member Map? You don't need to get city specific. Just curious.

Okay. Tech is hard.

Yes... and then this allows for you and I to talk about how I love tacos and fork into whatever we want to chat about. It seems to be the only option left since the software doesn't allow for threaded replies.

iPhone ? emoji ? ?

I'm  drinking  mostly  alot  water  or  tea  around  the day...   Also  beside  my  bed,  always  a  little  bottle  of  water,  so  I've  it  at  once  by  a  little  dry  mouth...

Thanks for the reminder  

Bomba de barril"

La Unión de Organizaciones de Ayuda Médica, entidad benéfica con sede en Estados Unidos que trabaja con hospitales sirios, dijo a la BBC que el Hospital Rural de Especialidades de Damasco había confirmado la muerte de 70 personas.

Una portavoz de la organización dijo que los informes sobre el terreno sugerían un número mucho mayor, de alrededor de 180 muertos, pero que era difícil llegar a las víctimas 

debido al bombardeo continuo y a la oscuridad de la noche.

Agregó que había informes de personas que estaban siendo tratadas por síntomas como convulsiones y espuma en la boca, que coinciden con aquellos causados por la exposición a agentes nerviosos o a gas de cloro.

El Centro de Medios de Guta, afín a la oposición, tuiteó que más de 75 personas se habían "sofocado" y que otras 1.000 habían sufrido los efectos del supuesto ataque.

Notice this interaction did not clutter or derail someone elses topic. 

Thank you for your comment. The tie is an original 1960's tie which has a matching handkerchief. Bought when i was Mod and this was the in thing. The maker was Harry Fenton, very well known at the time. 

You may use my profile any time you wish sir. 

Is there any way to quantify that info?   And in what time frame?

...anything I can take to the pawn shop?

I guess not... although I often compare modern "hits" to the time spent walking the streets "from house to house" to find one person "at home"......

We reach people in different ways and times with small snippets of data nowadays rather than the

192 page books of yesteryear.

It was truly a different place and time.

Just gonna watch some Netflix....drink my iced tea 😉

I used to read your TomSheeandGoats blog too! :-) I admire the way you are able to see the humorous side of things that make other people get their knickers all in a twist! I'm thinking of purchasing your book Tom Irregardles" :-)

30% download of the book is free. Afterwards, if anyone wants it but can't afford, request free code at truetomharley@gmail.com. Glad you enjoyed the blog.

Author of 'Tom Irregardless and Me'     and      'No Fake News but Plenty of Hogwash'

These are the two books I occasionally refer to in my posts, whenever something is inexplicably in quotes. Please don't post online questions about my books - this is a discussion forum, not a bookstore. Message me instead.

Thanks, Tom

Thank you. I ended up getting rid of it when I realized the posts already show up on this page. 

Another attempt at 'continuous improvement'.

They support the little Indian Orphans who refill those bottles from Bombay faucet water from the janitor's closet, and put Crazy Glue on the cap and twist ring, so it makes that "snap" sound when you open  it.
